Probably Infinity.

My younger son's Honda Civic was totaled in a rear-end collision. The other party's insurance company, Infinity, which specializes in underwriting policies for high-risk motorists, took several months to pay up, but they were at least pretty fair about the amount. They even let him keep the car, which he sold to an automobile recycler for $500 (Honda engines, transmissions, seats, headlights, etc. are in high demand, and these were in great shape). Fortunately, we avoided using an attorney -- under California law, minimum legal insurance coverage, which is all this bozo carried, is an absurdly paltry $5K for property damage, $15K for bodily injury.
